The thing is, there’s “iwd” and “wpa_supplicant”. You use either one or the other, but not both. Sources like the Gentoo handbook will tell you that but, not all Wiki’s do as good a job of pointing that out <…looking directly at you Arch…>.
Historical fencer, bike packer, friend of the Fae, it’s gets complicated…

I checked the wrong box on my birth certificate
I just blame it on being a rolling release ;)
…and Cable TV didn’t eliminate commercials…and ATMs didn’t reduce banking costs resulting in higher interest on savings…etc…
I don’t know, Linus is still trying to excuse and justify. It would seem taking him out of the driver’s seat was the right call. As for the rest, they are responding because their backs are against the wall. Time will tell if they will really make any changes.
I’m not really that familiar with LTT. I did subscribe to his channel, mainly because I was bemused by him borking his PC by rushing an install of Pop_OS and Steam. (“yes, do as I say”, if you recall). Reading the PC Gamer article, it appears he did the same, “just drive on without thinking it through” approach to this prototype cooler. I haven’t watched a lot of his videos and anyone can make a mistake but, there is an expectation that a “tech expert” show a bit of diligence. Plus, if he’s showcasing a vendor, he should make sure they have every chance to shine.

…this guy is starting to look like a poser now…
If you’ve got an old PC, you might still need it.
I’ve been with EndeavourOS for longer than that…I WAS THERE MAN!..I WAS THERE! . (also GRUB Customizer sucks…IYKYK) . I would eventually get GRUB working again but, it was not the same. I went to systemdboot.

;)
The particular GRUB issue (on UEFI systems) it’s referring to hit EndeavourOS as well. It’s actually what nudged me into just going with systemdboot. Also, to be fair, with Arch, it’s a good habit to check the update notes on the website prior to updating.
I’ve been curious about going “both ways”, but never acted upon it… ;)
I guess I did follow people on Twitter, I had friends there…then Musk made it weird…
I gave Mastodon a look when Twitter started to get all “Musky”. I wound up going with Counter.Social in the end.
Having tried both, I think I prefer Lemmy
Let’s see, Debian 12 is impressive. I got that running on my ancient PC in my home office. For a long time, Mint was my go-to recommendation for a new Linux user and I ran it on my main PC for years. Although, with Canonical (Ubuntu) going the way they’re going, I’d have probably switched from MInt to LMDE by now if I stayed with it. For that matter, MXLinux is an excellent Debian based distro but, Debian 12 being as good as it is, I think I’d still go with Debian 12 today. If I were setting up PCs for use by students or some other group, I think I’d go with Fedora (assuming the whole kerfuffle with RHEL doesn’t impact it).

…these days, on my personal “daily driver” PC, I run EndeavourOS. It’s basically Arch but easy to install and very nicely set up out of the gate. Friendlier community than Arch as well. It’s basically Arch for people who don’t need to go minimalist on the install and/or flex about installing Arch.
Arch has the best package management to be sure. For a “Daily Driver” setup, I’d recommend EndeavourOS. It’s basically Arch with much easier setup, some useful tools (that you can choose to use or not), and very well set up for a daily use PC out of the gate. I’ve used both. Arch is nice, but EndeavourOS is what I run on my “Daily Driver” PC.
One does not simply drop random LOTR references into threads ;)
Since the Twitter “kerfuffle”, this is one of the best new social media sites I’ve found.
…although, to be fair, a lot of distro’s just kinda sort it out for you.
